In a small hall at 303 Coteau St. W. on Thursday evening, Moose Jaw mayoral candidate Ernie Penney spoke to a 27-person crowd, outlining his campaign platform for the 2009 municipal election.
“It’s been a dream of mine,” he said — about running for mayor — during the platform announcement, adding many people in the community have met his decision to seek local elected office with enthusiasm and congratulations.
“Lots of people are coming up to me on the streets saying, ‘Hey Ernie, you’re doing a good job.’”
Major platform issues Penney discussed during Thursday’s informal gathering included increasing affordable housing, attracting new business and growth to the community, as well as campaigning for another hospital in Moose Jaw.

On the affordable housing issue, Penney said city council must look at approaching the matter as a team effort, partnering with businesses and other organizations to create more local housing options specifically for the city’s poor.
“The main idea behind it is this is for people of low income.”
